How Exocytosis Works from Cell A to Cell B

When a nerve signal reaches Cell A, calcium (Ca²⁺) enters, causing vesicles with neurotransmitters to move. The vesicles release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft (the gap between cells). These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on Cell B, passing the signal along. After releasing the neurotransmitters, Cell A recycles the vesicles for future use. This process helps neurons communicate quickly and efficiently.

How Neurons Communicate: Signal Transmission at the Synapse

When a nerve signal reaches the end of a neuron, it cannot jump to the next cell directly. Instead, it triggers the opening of calcium channels, causing neurotransmitters to be released into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters cross the gap and bind to receptors on the next neuron, either activating or blocking a new signal.

Study of naturally sourced bacteria with antifungal activities

The study was carried out with the aim of sourcing for bacteria from the natural environment having antifungal capabilities to control and inhibit postharvest fungal spoilage of fruits and vegetables caused by Botrytis cinerea. Soil and water samples were collected from Heriot Watt University environment and Dr Ruth Fowler’s garden and inoculated using the spread plate technique; identification was carried out using Microbact Identification kits; and isolates assayed for antifungal activities against Botrytis cinerea. Forty eight bacteria species were isolated out of which sixteen (16) belonging to genera Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Escherichia, Burkholderia, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Proteus showed antifungal activities. Bacteria species Pseudomonas stutzeri and Burkholderia cepacia had the highest zones of inhibition with average radii of 3.06 and 3.20 cm respectively. The bacteria had the potential to inhibit mycelial and spore growth at varying levels thus making them possible candidates for further tests and studies. Considering the aim of the study, further research into identifying these antifungal isolates inhibitory compounds and metabolites is highly recommended.

Study uncovers inhibitory role of 'Ter cells' in cancer therapies

Study uncovers inhibitory role of ‘Ter cells’ in cancer therapies

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Targeted radiation is often used to study and treat diverse cancer types. A multidisciplinary research team based at the University of Chicago Medicine has recently focused on a type of cell that releases a protein that enhances resistance to cancer therapies and promotes tumor progression. The study focused on Ter cells, which are extra medullary erythroid precursers…

Innovative technique for labeling and mapping inhibitory neurons reveals diverse tuning profile -- ScienceDaily

Innovative technique for labeling and mapping inhibitory neurons reveals diverse tuning profile — ScienceDaily

Neurons are complex, highly connected cells engaged with multiple networks throughout the brain, and they exhibit a wide range of activity. As such, individual neurons can perform many functions. Neurons are generally classified as either excitatory or inhibitory based on downstream effects on other cells, with each cell receiving a diverse array of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs that…
